  • There is a Wisconsin Center for Education Research survey involving 20 states of the enacted curriculum. Here is a link: http://seconline.wceruw.org/ There are A LOT of resources on this site. I've attached the survey they used for K-12 mathematics, but there are also quite a bit of data presented on the site. K12mthSurvey.pdf
